Deep love: insatiable lover

Dylan’s expression gave a breath and he half-knelt in front of his daughter, his eyes level with hers.

-I’m sorry Candy, Dad didn’t mean not to tell you. It’s because I wasn’t sure I could really find it, and I was worried that telling you would get your hopes up and disappoint you, so I kept it to myself.

-It’s okay.

Cecilia suddenly stepped forward, reached out and wrapped her arms around Dylan’s neck, and said earnestly:

-I’ve just guessed. Dad was hiding something from me in his conversation with Uncle Lucas, I guessed as much. It’s okay, Dad, I know you must feel worse than I do. Mum… Mum will find him and neither of us will give up.

-Mmm, she won’t give up.

His daughter’s tender but sincere words were the most effective comfort in the world, making all the weariness and disappointment Dylan had hidden deep in his heart disappear in that instant.

At least he had his daughter by his side.

He was much luckier than Vanessa, who was nowhere to be seen.

-Dad promises you the next time I hear from mum I’ll tell you, okay?

-Mmm.

Cecilia nodded vigorously, her big eyes full of thoughts about her mother.

-Well Candy, come with daddy to the kitchen to prepare dinner, okay? Whatever you want to eat, daddy will make it with you.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

-Okay.

Cecilia nodded with a smile and took her father’s hand into the kitchen.

Even in Vanessa’s absence, they had to be happy every day, father and daughter. Because as long as they were happy, they could make Vanessa feel less guilty when they found her.

Working together, father and daughter prepared dinner very quickly.

It was Cecilia’s first time cooking and Dylan had his device to record it from the beginning. After the meal was served, they even had Cecilia sit next to him and take pictures to remember the occasion.

Every bit of his daughter’s adulthood is a treasure to him, and I’m sure it’s the same for Vanessa.

So he will document every moment of his daughter’s growth until his Vanessa sees her again, to make up for the precious experiences he is missing out on by not being with her.

One country, one place.

Alonso was just looking for an excuse, but to his surprise, Graciela had gone to C-town.

When he heard the news, he deliberately called his men, choosing to do so at a time when he was too busy to go out.

-Vanisa, pick up the phone for me.

-Okay.

Vanessa nodded and walked over to the coffee table and picked up the phone.

Without waiting for her to identify herself, the person on the other end of the line said in a serious tone.

Miss Davalos has been making a scene in C-Town. You left early, so she had a chance. But Miss Davalos doesn’t look like she’s going to stop, so be careful.

-I’ll pass it on to Alonso. -Is there anything else?

-Is that Miss Vanisa? Sorry, it was urgent and I didn’t have time to ask.

-It doesn’t matter.

-Okay. -There’s nothing else, so Miss Vanisa, goodbye.

Vanessa hung up the phone and turned to see Alonso.

-Who’s calling?

Someone on your hand who said that Graciela had left C-Town and that she wouldn’t rest easy and would keep looking for you, and told you to be careful.

Alonso’s brow immediately furrowed and his eyes filled with disgust.

-When the hell is she going to learn to give up! It’s so obvious that I’m so displeased with her, but she pursues me as if she didn’t know. If I had known I was going to be in such trouble, I should have gone abroad to study long ago and not stayed at home to have a chance to meet her.

The tone of extreme disgust showed how much he disliked Graciela.

Vanessa found it quite understandable, if it were her, if there was someone she already hated but always pursued no matter what, even by any means, she herself would be disgusted and would definitely not want to see him again.

-Okay, big deal, we’ll switch places again.

Vanessa laughed nonchalantly.

-I’m sorry, I’m going to have to give it a hard time.

Alonso said guiltily and apologetically, with a sincere look of affection that I could tell in the back of his mind was grimacing at the success of his calculations?

Who knew he was secretly divulging his whereabouts to Graciela so that she would follow his trail and, naturally, lead Vanessa from place to place, leaving the real searchers behind and erasing all clues.

While Alonso takes Vanessa to the next location, he instructs the Rasgado family to give Lucas a mixed message.

The response he gave was far more helpful than if Dylan had been blocked from finding out more about the clues.

Lucas was particularly effusive and took the results to Dylan to brag about them.

You said Vanessa was in C-town a while back?

-Yes. What’s going on? -Lucas said incredulously, then added, “Coincidentally, we went to C-town a while ago too. It’s just that there was a sea of people we didn’t know. Unfortunately, he’s already left C-Town. There has been no investigation into where he went afterwards.

-You say you met Alonso at the seminar?

-Yes? -What happened?

-Alonso was in all the cities where Vanessa was, don’t you think that’s too much of a coincidence?

Dylan asked with sharp eyes, questions growing in his mind.

Abroad because the Rasgado family was there, and on this side of C-Town because Alonso was coming to the seminary. Besides, Alonso stayed in C-Town before returning home. He works as a surgeon in a hospital there and has a good reputation.

Lucas didn’t think there was anything in between; after all, both places were within Alonso’s life trajectory.

Seeing that Dylan was still pondering, Lucas added.

-Alonso was about to get engaged not long ago, but I heard he didn’t because Miss Graciela, the Dávalos family, who had been bothering him, got in the way. But it shows that he has a mistress and if he really knew Vanessa, he would have told me when he knew I was watching.

To this, Dylan made no comment.

He seemed to believe it, and wasn’t listening at all.

-Well, at least now there are more clues.

-Vanessa she… She has amnesia, I think.

Dylan spoke suddenly, with a tone of bitterness.

Only such a reason could explain her not returning to him and his daughter when she was clearly unharmed.

But such a stubborn excuse made Dylan feel grumpy and annoyed.

He dreaded the thought that if Vanessa had been cheated on and had fallen in love with someone else during her memory loss.

-I don’t think Vanessa will ever fall in love even if she loses her memory. Believe in your own charm and don’t beat around the bush. I’m going to wonder if you’re the Dylan I know.

Lucas said with an indifferent look.

-I wish I were.

Dylan’s voice was low, as if he was holding something back.

That was all he could hope for, that his Vanessa wouldn’t forget his feelings for her even if he didn’t have the memories.
